BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0001] In accordance with my invention a snow sweeper is an article ofhardware comprised of one scooper, two cylindrical beams attached to theplastic scooper, a plastic perch for the scooper to attach by suspenderswhich journey through the cylindrical beams and garter wraps to looparound the cylindrical beams and perch for attachment under the front ofthe automobile vehicle.

[0002] Accordingly, several objects and advantages of this inventionare:

[0003] (a) to provide a snow sweeper that can remove snow withoutrequiring exposure to cold air;

[0004] (b) to provide a snow sweeper whose production allows forconvenient and extremely rapid economical movement of snow;

[0005] (c) to provide a snow sweeper which is both portable and lightweight with no additional accessory parts or pieces is required i e., amounting pin, stop marker, rods, tongue, trailer, hitch, hydraulicapparatus, latch mount or chain, split halves of shovel or blade,auxiliary handles or secondary handles, hitch pins, skids, thresholdshaft, crank assembly, accessory anchor rods or bottom rod, springs,motors, pivot, chassis

[0006] (d) to provide a snow sweeper which will present a superiorattachment to automobile motor vehicles for the removal of snow andmovement of snow where no additional part is needed for attachmentpurposes for propulsion and no device or part is needed to be placed onthe ornamental exterior of the car i.e., on the hood of the car, as thehood of the car is not the power of the car.

[0007] Further objects and advantages are to provide snow sweepers hitchcan be used easily and conveniently for the movement of snow, withoutexcessive force by the consumer, which is simple to assemble and use andinexpensive to manufacture, which can be used with a variety ofautomobile motor vehicle models and makes, which can be used repeatedlyand which obviates the need to have someone shovel the snow, purchaseexpensive plows or snow blowers for seasonal snow or put unnecessarystrain on the human body by repetitious lifting of heavy salt bags orshoveling heavy chunks of snow repeatedly. This snow sweeper eliminatesdragging and use of accessory motor as this sweeper has an automaticforward and reverse raise and since my sweeper uses crooks of any shapeand size, not hooks that come with bungee cords this snow sweeper has nospecific single area of place attachment as it does not require flagpins and washers, pins, washers, etc., to obtain a firm hold ofattachment as using crooks allows for placement anywhere under the car,eliminating one specific place of attachment and position, and permitsattachment to many areas of the automobile front or rear, no restrictionto the chassis. And because of the size, weight and shape of my sweepercan be internalized within an automobile system for mechanical releasefor usage without altering the exterior ornamental design of anyautomobile motor vehicle. Still further objects and advantages willbecome apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description anddrawings

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] A preferred embodiment of the snow sweeper of the presentinvention is illustrated in FIG. 2 (front view) and FIG. 3 (back view).The snow sweeper has a large scooper 1 consisting of plastic materialwhich can be repeatedly used without fracturing. The preferredembodiment, the large scooper 1, the cylindrical beams 10 and 11 andperch 22 are plastic. The entire invention is comprised of plastic andrubber with the exception of screws and bolts. However this sweeper canconsist of any other material that can be used for moving snow withoutfracturing such as metal, steel, steel core plastic, rubber, fibrousmaterial, etc.,.

[0013] At the front end of the snow sweeper is a scooper piece 14 oneach side of the scooper 1 which terminates in beam-hole-forscooper-piece 16 and 17 after going thru the beam-scooper hole 4 and 5on the left and right side of the scooper. The two beams 10 and 11attach by screws from the scooper 1 to the perch 22 where they screw fora firm fit. From scooper 1 to perch 22 suspenders 20 are placed thrucrooks 21 for attachment to (1) scooper holes 2,3,8,and 9 and (2)attachment to perch holes 23 and 24 for end of beams.

[0014] The scooper 1 of the sweeper is typically rectangular in shape.The outer four comers of the scooper are typically beveled or rounded toavoid snagging and personal injury. also when suspenders 20 are placedin scooper holes 2,3,8 and 9 the beveled or rounded detent or guard 6and 7 are placed for the positioning and holding and conveying of thescooper 1 and perch 22 in a solid position.

[0015] The scooper border 26 is typically a rectangular shape.

[0016] The beamslo and 11 are typically oblong shape with holes 16 and17 for screws at beam-hole-for-scooper-piece on the side facing upwardfrom the edge; and on the perch end of the beam there are holes 18 and19 for screws from the edge (also from the edge facing upward).

[0017] The perch 22 typically rectangular shape and typically inwardfrom the left edge of the perch 22 is a perch hole 23 for the end ofleft beam 10 to fit thru perch 22 with a screw for a firm hold to perch.Inward from the right edge of the perch 22 is perch hole 24 for end ofright beam 11 to fit thru perch with a screw for a firm hold to perch.

[0018]FIG. 2 has a front view of scooper 1 of snow sweeper with scooperpieces 14 and 15 fitted thru left and right beam scooper holes 4 and 5at an elevated angle. The scooper piece is typically circular indiameter at its base with outward triangular shape edges for a lockinggrip. It is this locking grip that provides a solid hold when contact ismade with snow.

[0019]FIG. 3 shows the snow sweeper from the back with variousattachments. The perch 22 encases suspenders 20 which go thru crooks 21which attach above and below the beam 10 and 11 to the scooper 1. Eachbeam hole 18 and 19 is attached thru the perch at 23 and 24 and to thescooper on the opposite end 16 and 17.

[0020] From the description above, a number of advantages of my snowsweeper become evident:

[0021] (a) There is no clean up from moving snow.

[0022] (b) There is no exposure hazardous climate

[0023] (c) With the use of this snow sweeper attached to the automobilemotor vehicle there is no loud noisy sounds, drags or scuds

[0024] (d) Time is saved from sprinkling salts to melt the snow,shoveling the snow or worst of all waiting for someone, while stranded,to plow the snow.

[0025] (e) The snow sweeper provides superior movement of snowrepeatedly.

OPERATIONS FIG. 2,3

[0026] the manner of using the snow sweeper to move snow is by placementof the snow sweeper by garter wraps 25 onto the front end or rear end ofthe car. To do this the snow sweeper must be put together with a fewsimple assembly steps. Take the beams 10 and 11 and hold them at theends that have holes approximately 8 to 9 cm from the edge of the beam;these holes should face up toward the ceiling. Take the perch 22 withthe deep side up and place the two beams 10 and 11 thru the perch 22 sothat the holes from the beams line up with the holes in the perch 23 and24 respectfully. Next place one screw into each hole. Now place the leftbeam 10 thru the left beam scooper hole 4 from the back of the scooper1. The back of the scooper is identified by the location of the scooperborder 26 which is located on the back of the scooper. Place the scooperpiece 14 thru the hollow open end of the beam 10 which is piercing thescooper for that the scooper piece hole 12 lines up with the beam holefor scooper piece 16. Place a screw thru the scooper piece. You havejust completed the left side of the snow sweeper.

[0027] Repeat the same steps with the right side of the sweeper.

[0028] Next place the suspenders 20 thru the crooks 21. Repeat this forthe remaining three suspenders 20 and crooks 21. Screw one left beamhole protector 6 above and one below the left beam on the scooper.Repeat this with the two right beam hole protectors 7. Place one end ofone suspender now is encased by a crook in the right upper scooper hole2. Now place another suspender in the right upper scooper hole 3. Placeanother suspender into the left bottom scooper hole 8 and the lastsuspender in the right bottom scooper hole 9.

[0029] Now take the left bottom crook and run it under the left beam andattach its free end to the left open hollow end of the left beam 10.Take the right bottom crook and after running it under the right beamlattach its free end to the right beam open hollow end just like you didthe left side. Now take the left upper crook 21 cross it over and insertthe free end into the right beam open hollow end of the right beam 11.Place the right upper crook into the free open hollow end of the leftbeam 10 (See FIG. 3)). Finally take the garter wraps 25 and loop themaround the bottom of each beam and the perch portion of said beam andloop them around the bottom of each beam 10 and 11 and perch 22 leavingenough of the garter wraps 25 free so that the suspending ends of thegarter wraps 25 hang. It is this suspending wraps action which providesfirm hold and thrusting drive balance without break, for bend movementand motion when attached to the automobile motor vehicle.

[0030] Accordingly, the reader will see that the snow sweeper can beused to move and remove snow easily and conveniently without damage tothe vehicle. Since the garter wraps when looped around the perch providean amazing hold for thrusting drive and balance the motion of the snowmade by the scooper is set solid by the placement of crooks as it is thecrooks which provide support and directive guidance for the largescooper thereby when the snow sweeper is used to move or remove snow thesnow sweeper will motion the snow in such a way as to form a pile ofsnow without damage to the vehicle or person. Furthermore, the snowsweeper has the additional advantages in that

[0031] placement and detachment of the sweeper permits easy access toand from the vehicle as it does not require nuts, bolts, pins, or locksfor attachment

[0032] storage of the snow sweeper is so light and durable it can beplaced not only in a garage but in the truck of an automobile motorvehicle for easy access when needed

[0033] comfort and safety is provided while moving snow.

[0034] Although the description above contains many specifications,these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention butmerely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferredembodiments of this invention. For example, the scooper can have othershapes, such as circular, oval, trapezoidal, triangular, etc., the perchcan have other shapes, tops, coverings, wrappings; the scooper piece canhave various shapes and can be replaced by a hinge which connects twootherwise unconnected halves, etc.,.

[0035] Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by theappended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examplesgiven.

What I claim as my invention is:
 1. A snow sweeper for place in front of their automobile motor vehicle or human body for movement of snow, comprising: (a) a large scooper (b) cylindrical beams (c) suspenders (d) crooks for assignment to suspenders (e) a perch attachment of said beams and said crooks (f) garter wraps to loop around said beams
